Special journal issue on new HCR-20 V3 risk instrument

TheInternational Journal of Forensic Mental Health
has just published a special issue on the HCR-20 Version 3, an update to the

that the entire issue is available for free download.

The work covered in the special issue is
international in scope, spanning seven countries. Separate articles present the
latest data on the instrument’s scientific reliability and validity, with a
